Oh dear. Every day I have to remind myself some people really are that dumb

NTA.

"I took language back in college". 🤣🤣🤣

That's one dense mötherfücker.. 'Hmm, everyone at the hotel has the same accent her in NZ. Ofcourse they're all Scottish, they just dont want to admit it'.

As a New Zealander of mostly Scots descent, I'm lost as to how the two accents could be confused. I think someone was taking the p**s. However, I don't agree with OP's response either.

American here. You were a lot nicer than I would’ve been. I’ve said way worse stuff to other Americans when they’re being a******s. He greatly insulted you. You tried to tell him he’s wrong and to stop. He persisted, so obviously has no clue about common courtesy and not trodding on people’s boundaries. You weren’t even the only person he did it to the entire time he was there—-as a guest, ffs. Yeah, you were nice. I would’ve verbally burned him to the ground.

NTA, he needs to learn the difference between a scottish accent and an NZ accent, also even if they were, don't use stereotypes with real life people.

Ok if you get obsessed with the idea that ONE person is Scottish, I get it but to think that EVERYBODY is, wth man 💀💀💀💀

Um, what? Kiwis don't sound anything like Scotts

Of cource not, and love the come back! 5 is a bit generous though..

I hate Americans like him who make the rest of us look so bad

You two seem like a great match: you sighing at the thought of servicing an American (likely over generalizing) and him, with his overconfidence. 😱🫣.

Absolutely NTA

Hey, people can only take so much arrogant ignorance before they snap back. NTA. In fact, you may have prevented the bellhop from tossing him out the window. Through it if it couldn't be opened.

As an American...very much NTA.

I'm an America and you are NTA.

I've not heard all that many NZ people speak but from my limited experience I've yet to be reminded of a Scottish accent!!!

I don't understand how our accents could be confused with Scottish?

Definitely NTA, why did he not accept your answer?

I'm an American...and that a*****e is embarrassing!

Sometimes things just need saying 😆

Definitely NTA

He obviously failed that class, because those two accents are completely different. 🤦🏼‍♂️

I'd have given him a minus five IQ.

No!

NTA - and I SWEAR all Americans aren't THAT stupid.

My entire life people have been telling me the way I pronounce my own surname is wrong, and I think I should legally be allowed to punch them in their goddam stupid faces

Maybe he thought he was in Scotland.

NTA

I've known toddlers smarter than that guest.

I am occasionally asked by people in the USA what part of England I come from (I’m Australian). I usually return serve by asking them what part of Canada they come from.

Nope!

Yet another BP post featuring a dumb American. When will we see something similarly hilarious about the Russians? The Chinese?

“Scott” lol

Nope, nada, nullo modo, Nay ---

American here; this was long overdue for that jerk. He's probably a know-it-all in his own neighborhood. And I also took classes that centered on accents of the English language. Apparently he must have skipped a lot of lessons. There are real differences between Scottish and NZ accents. You have my blessing to put any and all boorish Americans in their places! ♥

Hey, I'd have said the same thing. And I'm an American.
